hey lil bro,

hope your life, internship and gf are all going well!

also, i was reading through my dA comment box, and , as all your comments/replies produced a chuckle , i';ve developed a dependency!

Make me laugh or i'll be forced to kneecap you! i'm sorry but it's the goddamn freaking law of Eccles! Also, Just because it's named after me doesnt mean that i had any sway in its invention!

and in answer to your next question : as you can plainly see , i haven't matured none since we last had contact

tdl (not so) baby bro (anymore -aaaawwww)

Hey lil Bro,

I've prepared a special present for you!!! A list of authentic quirky/historical interjections, lest your old quirky/historical interjections were boring you:

- "steeth" (Elizabethan- "god's teeth")

- By Chocs ( Great war- Britain)

- "Flaming Norah" and "Crippens" - (children's fake swearing - Enid Blyton book)

- qunt ( swearword from Chaucer - take a guess).

Oh, and i wanted to tell you that you might like [link] , if you weren't already familiar with it ( which ou probably are)

Anyhow , tc + i hope everything's goinng well with you.

I suspected as much (since it's part of the Dumbrella network) , but thought i'd tell you about it anyway, because it would be a small tragedy if T-Rex's charming innocence and ability to take joy in life's simple pleasures ( stomping down buildings, namely) had escaped your attention .

Thanks for the links. I really <3 "Perfect Stars ".

Hey lil bro,

cut and past this address into your browser:

"www.geocities.com/liminallemur'

and be the 4th person in as many years to visit my crappy website. It's guaranteed to be the strangest, worst designed page you[ve seen in months. Plus, it comes with a free print out certificate allowing the bearer to walk naked and scratch him/herself in public. What else could a body want?

Kind of depressed that i'm the only person so far to get into lemur hell.

come wallow in my crapulence with me! tempting offer, eh ?


how're things with you?

best wishes from the queen of the lemurs and your big sis, Eccles

Things are good! But I think I have a cold! Since I feel all sickly, and so on. Your website is somewhat fun if somewhat 90s! The lemur game was reasonably amusing. I mean, I didn't laugh but I liked it.

i sent you an email, but i think only the second part got to you. Since it is a very special and important email, here are the important parts ( as recounted to somebody else :


i just got a chain letter in my e-mail box with this message:


WHEN U ALREADY START READING THIS DON'T STOP OR ELSE SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN......... MY NAME IS TEDDY....I AM 7 YEARS OLD WITH BLONDE HAIR AND SCARY EYES. I HAVE NO NOSE OR EARS. I AM DEAD. IF U DO NOT SEND THIS TO 15 PEOPLE IN THE NEXT 5 MIN. , I WILL APPEAR TONIGHT BY YOUR BED WITH A KNIFE AND KILL YOU. THIS IS NO JOKE. SOMETHING GOOD WILL HAPPEN TO U TONIGHT AT 10:22. SOMEONE WILL CALL U OR


I am so stoked about this because, since i couldn't be bothered sending it to 15 other people teddy's gonna get me .

Also, The guy that wrote the original version of the ring is giong to get teddy for copyright infringement.


but since i'll be terribly murderd, i will be able to come back as a ghost and spend eternity recreating old horror films

i've always wanted to do the whole carrie thing


i suppose you'll be terribly murdered, too, now that i've sent you that message


do you want to join me?

dAmn! Teddy didn't get me! How unexpected!

I'd still like to recreate that scene from Carrie where the hand tries to pull people into the ground. I was going to bury myself underground with an oxygen mask and a periscope (to watch my victims) but i figure that the weight of the soil would be too heavy and i'd be too dead to continue with my prank. Perhaps some sort of mechanical hand.


HOw've you been, lil bro?


" I heart huckabees" - eeewwww *shivers*. Also, ever since repeatedly watching "Sin City" Jude Law has freaked me out. I know he isn't in it, but he's like a hot version of Elijah Wood *shivers* - creepy little hobbit.

When my cousin recommended I heart huckabees to me, she described as being like a light hearted, uplifting exploration of how people find meaning (or at least, a less nihilistic version of "Fight Club") . I saw it more as a anaemic parody of the self actualisation movement and the rat race and it seemed more reflective of the early eighties to mid 90s than today, and found it irritating how self involved all the characters were .

I'm not trying to force my opinion on you and perhaps i'm just too far outside of the intended audience of the film to appreciate the film's message. How is it that you interpreted teh film?


Answer at your leisure ( that is , in a month or threes time ( or not at all ) if you are busy with other things . I hope things are going well with you.

tc from your big sis eccles

I really liked I Heart Huckabees. It was a bit like *existentialism for the layperson* but it was fun and friendly. I just really liked some of the moments in it, like when one of the detectives dived into that woman's car, or when Jude Law's character was wandering around with "How am I not myself?" echoing in his head making him crack, or just little bits like
"Have you ever transcended space and time?"
"Yes. Well, space yes time now. Actually I have no idea what you just asked me"

aknowlege my posts , god damn u!

Or don't. I'm sure i can find 15 other people to adopt as siblings , to help assuage my fear of abandonment


would anybody reading this like to be my brother or sister? I'll beat up the kids that are bullying you at least twice as often as i beat you up !! And i'll share my cookies!!

Did you ? yay! which email account? I haven't gotten anything from you but seeing how my wildglobe account seems to have deleted itself, perhaps that isn't surprising.

The idea of creating a family ( manson-style) and unleashing them on an unsuspecting public is still worth pursuing, though, although perhaps it's a little cliched.

God-Herself In reply to the-disposessed [2006-01-24 01:52:30 +0000 UTC]

haven't got that either. My msn account was mysteriously deleted a while back* as well, i just didn't feel like mentioning it in order to indulge my penchant for half-explanations.

Oh well , i'm sure we'll c atch up sooner or later.

yes, the sheep are cool and evil, but the problem is that it's hard to engender a fear of sheep among middle-Australia. Perhaps if i had them join a biker gang or al quaeda (sp? ). I wonder if australia could become frightened of islamic/halal sheep. Perhaps they could be hiding explosives in their entrails.

nice mental image, eh?
